### Leica Feature Parameters in Offline Mode

When you use a Leica Tracker in Online mode to generate feature commands, PC-DMIS automatically inserts the following information into the Edit window inside those feature commands:

- RMS - Root Mean Squared value of each hit.

- Probe Type - The type of probe used to measure the feature.

- Time Stamp - The time the feature was executed or learned. PC-DMIS updates this only when it actually measures a feature in Online mode.

- Environmental Conditions - Information such as temperature, pressure, and humidity.

In Offline mode, PC-DMIS behaves differently. These Leica Tracker items only appear after you select the Show tracker parameters in offline check box on the General tab of the Setup Options dialog box. These parameters only appear for new feature commands that you insert into the measurement routine after you select this option. Previously-measured features remain unaffected except for a permanent structure change adding in an empty Tracker Parameter group into each feature command.

If you select this check box, it permanently changes your measurement routine structure for inserted feature commands regardless of if you later clear this check box. For example, if you clear this check box after you've already used it for some features, newly-inserted features still contain a Tracker Parameter group, but that group does not contain any group items.
